The below post is moot..... the RNC (in .BSB file format) charts are updated
on a current basis on the NOAA site.

No need to use the MAPTECH website. Or - for that matter - to purchase their
$499. software package

Does anyone know if the free charts on the MAPTECH will be updated on a
yearly basis...or is it a one time deal based on their past contractual
relationship with NOAA, which ended in November 2005?

I understand that NOAA will update their free charts on a regular basis
(yearly?)...but I would imagine that MAPTECH will charge for any further
updates.

Anyone know?
